Northern Kentucky Dog Training and Greater Cincinnati Dog Training with NKY K9

Available Training Options

The following training programs are designed to teach dogs and owners at different levels from basic manners to addressing fearful or aggressive behaviors. In order for all of our programs to be successful, it is imperative for owner(s) to work at home to change patterns and behaviors as instructed by the trainer. Your willingness to incorporate the obedience commands into everyday life, as instructed by your trainer, is crucial for success. The time and energy you invest will determine how much you and your dog are able to accomplish. The following is a breakdown of what each training program offers you and your dog.

Are you experiencing aggression in your dog?

Let us assist you with our decades of experience! We’ll start with a FREE Evaluation to assess your dog and to discuss the dynamics of your particular situation. There are many types of, reasons for and causes of aggression in dogs. Every situation is different and one solution doesn’t fit all! Call now for an open, honest assessment and a recommended solution or management plan.

**FREE** K9 Evaluation
Are you uncertain of what program meets your needs? We offer an optional, FREE evaluation to assist you. This is a private session with you, your dog and a professional trainer, lasting approximately 45 minutes. During this session several questions will be asked to gather information on your dog’s background, learn what training goals you have for you and your dog and the time frame desired. At this time we will also observe the interactions of your dog. This will assist us in determining your dog’s personality and temperament so we will be able to recommend a training program that best suits both you and your dog’s needs.

Building The Relationship You’ve Always Dreamed Of!

No one brings a dog home in hopes of adding stress to
the household; having a dog that jumps on your guests, pulls you down the street, eats food off of the counters and races out the front door with you chasing after him.

We dream of a dog being a true companion to us, taking our dog places with us, going for peaceful walks in the neighborhood, playing ball or hiking in the park and having our dog be a happy part of our day to day lives.

Specializing in Results – NKYK9 can help!

And best of all, your dog will have FUN while learning!

Residency Programs – (Day Camp or Boarding School)

Have you run out of patience or need your dog trained quickly? Do you have a busy, hectic schedule that may not allow for you to do the training your canine companion needs? Perhaps you just feel more comfortable putting your pooch’s training in the hands of a professional? A residency program may be just the thing for you. Your dog will be trained in a variety of environments, including with outside distractions and in real life situations. Going on vacation or out of town for a business trip? Consider sending your dog to school while you’re away. Vacation with the peace of mind knowing your canine companion is not only in great hands but also learning new manners and come home to a well-behaved dog! If you and your family can’t stand to part with your dog for the length of the training program we do offer day camp for each of the programs. Simply drop your dog off in the morning and pick them up after work. Your dog will be trained during their stay with us and all the training will be transitioned to you at the end of the training program.
